History of Shree Swaminarayan Temple

Junagadh is in the lap of Mount Girnar. The Temple also has five domes and sculptures. The construction of this Temple was done under Brahmanand Swami. King Hemantsinh (Jinabhai, Darbar of Panchala) generously donated the land for this shrine, and his memory is preserved here. Lord Swaminarayan, the founder of the Swaminarayan Sampraday, personally directed the construction of this Temple.

The Gods' Invocation Ceremony lasted two full days, as did the festivities surrounding the auspicious occurrences. On May 1, 1828 A.D., Shree Swaminarayan Bhagwan installed Shri Ranchhodrai and Trikamrai on the Temple's major Gods' seats.

He installed Radha Raman Dev and Harikrishna Maharaj in the eastern Temple. He also got Siddheswar Mahadev, Parvatiji, Ganapatiji, and Nandishwar on the west side of the Temple. Mughal Subba Bahadur Khan personally visited the location and Shree Swaminarayan Bhagwan. Shree Swaminarayan Bhagwan blessed the Mughal empire's regional head and thanked King Hemantsinh for donating the Temple's land.
